Hands free highway driving. What could go wrong?

In the wake of the plandemic EUAs still being maintained as valid despite growing evidence of the jabs’ dangers and lethality...

...who’s surprised that the government hasn’t banned ‘autopilot’ or any other form of automated driving in the face of numerous deaths?

There have been people doing hand free driving now for quite some time, in vehicles that have no automatic hand free driving equipment.

I’ve watched people using both hands to text while driving. It’s common to see a woman looking at that little vanity mirror on the sun visor, playing with her hair with one hand and on the phone with the other.

Back to the Ford fatalities. I suspect the biggest reason to use this Blue Cruise feature is to be perpetually on some device. I do not have sympathy for the deceased. Being on some device or not, the Darwin rule of survival of the fittest ruled again.

Stories like this completely undermine the delusional narrative that “self-driving cars” are anywhere close to reality.

No fully automated cars exist in US. You have to pay attention just as you do using cruise control.

It’s not Tesla, it’ll be brushed under the rug.

Just like the Soviet nuclear expert said at the Chernobyl hearings: “science requires victims”.

WHO are these people demanding this feature in a car??? The only use case I see is someone too old or infirm to drive might like to have this. It’s a total lack of imagination combined with hubris that makes people think that this selfmade problem can be solved “in a few years”.

these Driving Aids are just that, and only that.

I think the evidence shows that they are pretty decent at trying to drive.

In this case, 2 cars have crashed, but the details are sketchy.

How many E-mustangs have crashed when people were driving?

My cars have cruise control, but all they do is keep a constant speed, nothing more. would it be nice if they could keep a set following distance to the car in front of me, the distance depending on current speed yes.

regardless watching a movie or texting while trusting your car to drive itself is asking for a darwin award.

I do not jump out of perfectly good airplanes, but I know a girl who has made over 1000 jumps, She likes it and says it is perfectly safe.

In the back of my mind I can only assume she will go splat one of these days.
